The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve . Thus the difference is complete between past history (if we look at the extinction of the empire and the rise of the ten kingdoms) and the certain fulfilment of the prophecy in the future, when we look at what God has really told us. We have seen that these follow the Lord out of heaven, and are next seen enthroned. So let it be! But he tells us further that the Spirit of prophecy, who prophesies in this book, is the testimony of Jesus. The new thing here is these new seedless flame grapes. G. B.

It brings forth fruit at all times--yields its fruit every month. But I do believe that the time of the return of Jesus Christ is very, very near.
